Hi All,

I thought last nights presentation by Ollie was excellent. His hard work certainly paid off with some of the best night images I’ve seen for a very long time.

Please remember to upload your images for the upcoming Annual Exhibition and the PDI of the year. Details shown below.

You can enter up to 6 images into the Annual Exhibition, which should be 1920 x 1080 maximum in jpeg and no bigger than 5MB. They can be of any subject and in mono or colour. The deadline for entries is Thursday 28th May.

Please note that you should enter in the class you are in for PDIs – that is, if you are in Advanced for prints and Intermediate for PDIs – you enter in Intermediate. The exhibition will be judged – you can find the list of awards on the previous Annual Exhibition post https://chichestercameraclub.org.uk/annual-exhibition-2021/. The special award for photographs taken in a 10 mile radius of the centre of Chichester must be of a recognisable location but otherwise can be of any subject. That is for instance, an image of the Bishop’s Garden can be entered, a single flower in the garden can’t.

Everyone is guaranteed that at least one of their submitted images will be included in the exhibition. While there is no requirement to make your entries into a panel (that is, work out how the images sit best next to each other) and unlike for the print exhibition we cannot accept suggested hanging plans from you this year, it will be very helpful in making the overall exhibition look good if you can think about submitting images that work sympathetically together.

This year’s PDI of the Year Competition will be judged by Clive Tanner FRPS MPAGB APAGB. This year we will be returning to the normal format of having the PDI judged as part of the judging of the Annual Exhibition, which Clive is also judging for us.

You can upload your entries at the normal place:

http://www.photocompentries.net/?org=chichestercc

The competition is open to all classes and each member may enter up to two entries. Each entries must have already been judged in a PDI competition in this season (2020-2021). So all you have to do is select your two favourite entries and upload them.

Entries must be in by end of day 28th of May 2021.

Finally, I hope to see as many of you as possible at our last meeting this season when James Kerwin will be giving his presentation entitled ‘Sands of Time’.

Take care

Mike

We all know that a club stands or falls on its volunteers and we need two to manage the Print and Digital groups next season so if you are interested please contact me at ‘chair@chichestercameraclub.org.uk‘.

Looking forward to seeing you next week when we are in the company of Oliver Taylor for his presentation entitled ‘A Journey into Darkness – A Decade of Nightscapes’.

Take care.

Mike
